5.0/5We had an amazing 'Etosha dash' trip with PEA Tours and Safaris. Solid, clean, comfortable en up for the job vehicle and driver. Communications beforehand and during the trip were effective, pleasant and clear. Prev's knowledge of the country, wildlife, culture, venues, etc was impressive en we had many many questions answered. I would definitely recommend PEA Tours and Safaris for an amazing customized trip to the beautiful country of Namibia.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with Prev, always charming and ensured we enjoyed our entire trip.
Sandy Colliss · Australia
Prev booked exceptional tours and locations, and lodgings. He took care of all of our needs. He communicated with us through What’s app. This was a great value for the cost.
Judy & Dan · United States
The suggested itinerary matched perfectly with our preferences. All accommodations were carefully chosen and according to our budget. Everything was very well planned and well communicated in advance (driving times, facilities, activities) and there was still room to profit from last minute opportunities. Our guide/driver was very knowledgeable about animals, birds and the country. He was always in a good mood and eager to satisfy our requests and questions. PEA Tours has always been quick to respond when planning the tour. Our Namibian Grand Tour was a wonderful experience and highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Namibia.
